=== Keep in mind that the first draft does NOT have to be perfect. I'm looking for content and organization. You need to have a well developed summary paragraph (5 sentences) and well-developed response paragraph (5 sentences). Use the handouts we reviewed in class to help you develop your 1st draft. ===
